what do you call the timestamp feature? is it ctrl: or similar
the only way i can think is some formulas.....ie you enter the currnet time
using the "timestamp"
You enter the video time in another cell
you have a button that you click when you want.Presumably you view on FF so
you know factors beween FF and real time.

I am currently attempting to manage an establishment remotely using a
video camera that I monitor over the internet. I need to record the
entrance and exit times of vehicles persons etc. the current way that i
am doing this is way way too time consuming.

If I could link the timestamp feature in excel to the time recorded in
the video itself it would drastically reduce the time tiakes me to
monitor the business.


Let me give you an example of what i want to be able to do:

suppose it is 6:30 p.m and i am monitoring recorded video. someone
enters the establishment on the video at2:15 p.m. I use the timestamp
feature in excel and it registers 2: 15 p.m ( the time on the video)
INSTEAD of 6:30 p.m ( the time at which I am reviewing the video)

Furthermore, I want synchronization ( i.e if I review fifteen minutes
of the video in 5 minutes, i want the timestamp feature to keep up with
the fifteen minutes of " video" time, not the five minutes of " real"
time)

How can I do this???


IS there anyway in which I can synchronize the time in excel (
specifically the time stamp feature) with the time in the saved video
recording INSTEAD of with the computer time??

Alternatively does anyone know of a way to manipulate the computer
clock to synchronize with the time in the video recording??

The video software is Panasonic's Network Camera Recorder.
